DEIB in Action
We utilize the active voice to signal that our work this year will be a call to action, a response that involves all of us, and work that moves beyond us while moving PAFA onward. This will be our opportunity to increase cultural and human awareness of national and international social justice issues. This will also be an opportunity to further empower our community to bring the important work they perform in service to their communities and through their artmaking, more prominently into PAFA. Ultimately, we see this as an opportunity to truly have a collective experience through both internal and external community engagement. Such an endeavor captures the heart of our community -- that which makes PAFA a loving community.
We hope that you will join us as we embrace this opportunity to be more actively involved.
-- Dr. Ronke Oke
Director of DEIB & Deputy Title IX Coordinator

An Indigenous Perspective on Frida Kahlo
In 2019, I visited the bustling Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo's colorful home-turned-museum. As a cultural worker and frequent museum goer, I was excited to enter this shrine for Kahlo lovers. As a "full-blooded" Purépecha woman, however, I felt out of...

History of Women's Equality Day |
|
Passed in 1973, the U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day.” The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. This was the culmination of a massive, peaceful civil rights movement by women that had its formal beginnings in 1848 at the world’s first women’s rights convention, in Seneca Falls, New York. The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality. Workplaces, libraries, organizations, and public facilities now participate with Women’s Equality Day programs, displays, video showings, or other activities.

E. Starbuck
by Hope Gangloff
Hope Gangloff "won’t let her face be photographed. Unlike some of her contemporaries, who cruise the fair and gala circuit to keep their names bold-faced in the art world, the 42-year-old American painter prefers to stroll the streets of New York solo. When it comes to discussing her practice with the media, she’s even more reserved." | Read More
